CHICAGO, September 14th.-Mr. Purcell,
of the States Attorneys office, ran to the
Jail with the news. Following on his heels
was messenger conveying dispatch for
August Spies that had been sent from o.
tawa by an agent of the Anarchists. The
turnkey took the dispatch to cell % and
showed it through the bars. He. fingered a
moment to watch the effect it would have.
The Anarchist editor took the message,
glanced trowningly at the turnkey, and
then withdrew to the darker end OF the
cell. In two minutes or SO be called gently
to the old man who sits outside his door as
death watch, and asked him to hand the
yellow telegram sheet to Parsons From
him it went to all the others, and at last
reached Neebe, who is only under sentence
of mprisonment
1t could be seen that each of the con-
demned men made ostentatious efforts at
coolness and bravado. They took seats at
their ceu-doors and read newspapers and
books, smoked cigars, ETC. Lingg, the
bomb maker, whisiled. Their wives and
friends had been with them for an hour
during the morning, but about thirty min
utes before the news came they were ex-
cluded and the prisoners locked up, each by
himself. Sheriff Watson had remained
away from the Jail. By his orders. during
the night the guard had been doubled.

OTTAWA Qll.), September 14th.-The Su-
prerne Court this morning delivered an
opinion in the Anarchists case, affirming
the judgment of the Court below. The ex-
ecutions are to take place November 1lth,
between 8 and o'clock.
The opinion is by Magruder, and says
" In this case the judgment of the Court
below is affirmed as TO all and each and
every one OF the defendants"
An opinion has been prepared setting
forth the reasons OF the affirmation of the
judgment. The opinion is now handed to
the Clerk to be filed. Judge Sheldon an
nounced that he concurred in the opinion.
Judge Muikey said: while agree in
the opinion, and also the general views of
the Court l do not wish to be understood
as holding that the record is free from
errors, for do not think it is. Blu, none
of the errors complained of, in my opinion,
were of such a serious character as required
reversal of the judgment"
Judge Sheldon said: 7" In this case the
Court orders that the sentence of the Supe-
rior Court OF Cook county of the defend
ants in the Observation-Disclosures Spies,
Samuel Fielden, r. Parsons, Adolph Fisch-
er, Engel and Louis Lingg-be carried into
effect by the Sheriff of the county on the
1lth day of November next, ON Friday
The judgment of the Court was unani-
nous. The opinion is an able interpreta-
ton of the law and previous interpreta-
fions thereof by eminent jurists in this
country, as well as of foreign Courts, bear
ing upon the alleged and perhaps real er-
rors in this record. In his work he was
ably helped by each of the other six dis
tinguished Judges, who made him spokes-
man and through him expressed their
unanimous decision. The opinion covers
225 pages of closely-written manuscript.

UNITED STATES
Customs Officials Seize Large Amount
of Lumber

CALAIS, Nov. IL.
The Custom House officials seized at Bar
ing, Me. yesterday, large amount of hem
lock lumber, owned by II. F. Eaton & Sons,
for alleged violation of the revenue laws.
The lumber was manufactured and planed in
the mllS now situated on the Canadian side
of the river, but the owners claim that when
the mills were built they were on the Amer
lean side, and that since that time the dams
and Improvements have changed the course
of the river. Some sixteen years ago the
question of location arose and the authorities
decided that the mills were American and
the present movement is a great surprise.
The mills have been shut down until the
treasury decision can be obtained. This
throws about - men out of employment and
is severe blow to the town of Barring. If
the present tactics of the customs officials
continue it is the opinion of the best inform
ep citizens that it will ruin the business of
the American side of st Crox river.

How a Man Played a Mean Trick

From the Nacon LGal Telearaph.

From the Adcon (Ga) Telegraph.
Late Tuesday night Fourth street
grocer set a trap for rats, and in a short
while caught number OF the largest ro-
dents ever seen in Macon. A wag saw
them and, regarding them as ouriosities
IN their way, took a couple, and, wrap
ping them up in piece of paper, put the
bundle under his arm and went out
When he reached the corner of the street
below he met a poor unfortunate fell
low named John Smith, who is well
known in Macon as having as good
q heart in him as anybody, but whose
ruin and weakness has been love Of
liquor. John was both dry and hungry,
and when his eye lit on the bundle he
thought it might be something 10 eat. He
asked the question and the wag replied
that he WAS carrying some steak h0me.
Smith saw his chance and proposed that
If the wag would give him the steak he
would go and have 1t cooked that both of
them might ENJOY square meal. The
wag, with an air OF reluctance, finally
consented and off Smith went with the
bundle.
He carried it to place on the same
street kept by negro as a bar and q
restaurant, and told the keeper that he
had some fine steak that he wanted
cooked. The keeper told him the fire was
out in the stove, and then Smith offered
to swap the steak-and never was steak
so eloquently eulogized-for some cooked
victuals. The proposition was not &C.
cepted and then q bright idea struck
Smith. he offered to give it for drink
and the barkeeper consented. The bottle
was placed on the counter, and as Smith
was filling the tumbler to the brim the
barkeeper felt OF the bundle and remarked
that the steak was mighty soft.
"Never you mind about that" said
Smith, sits some Of the finest you ever
stuck your snags Into"
But the barkeeper wanted to see his
purchase and unrolled the paper. The
moment his eyes rested on the rats he
made q grab for the glass OF liquor that
Smith was a the act OF placing to his
lips and secured it. Then Smith saw the
contents OF the bundle, and mis- face for a
moment was a study. One could read in
it sorrow for his unfortunate condition.
disappointment at losing his drink and
anger for the man who had played the
trick on him. No amount OF explanation
would convince the barkeeper that Smith
had not attempted TO defraud him, and
then Smiths anger burst forth. For ten
minutes Fourth street was painted red,
white and blue, and it would not have
